Benefits of technology
The patent describes a robot control apparatus that includes a power supply board and a driving board. The driving board is positioned in a way that it does not stick out from the ends of the power supply board, which prevents the overall structure from being too tall. This design reduces the size of the robot control apparatus. Additionally, if the robot has multiple driving sections, the driving board can be shared across these sections, making it easier to dispose in a thin space and reducing the thickness of the robot control apparatus.
Problems solved by technology
Therefore, it is difficult to reduce the size of a housing of a robot control section.
Therefore, it is difficult to connect external wires to the side surfaces after setting the robot controller.
However, when the robot controller is set in the setting section in a state in which the long external wires are connected to the robot controller in this way, the external wires hinder the setting of the other devices and the robot controller.
That is, when the external wires are connected to the side surfaces, it is difficult to perform extra length management for the external wires.
It is also difficult to control routes of the external wires after the setting.
It is difficult to lay the internal wires.
Excessively wide spaces are unnecessary for the external wires on the side surfaces of the housing.
Therefore, even in a configuration in which the length in the width direction can be regulated, it is unnecessary to excessively reduce the width of the robot control apparatus.
With this configuration, when maintenance of a certain board is performed, the other boards less easily hider the maintenance.
